German news says that supermarkets will be soon empty in Cyprus. They have food up to tuesday.
Is that true?

Original article is: http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten ... rden-leer/



Dogs and cats are openly having relationships in the streets
English pensioners are not moaning about the weather
Cars are running on water
Huge radioactive lizards are appearing from the sea
Aliens are running around masquerading as German bankers


I swear its all true ...... I read it on the Internet :roll: :roll: :roll:

so it is claimed: see

I think however you will find that depths of 17 feet are wind-blown drifts: 2 feet maybe in places.

How can the supermarkets go empty when nobody has money to buy anything?

because the people can still get some money and will buy food, but the supermarkets do not have enough cash to resupply.

Don't the supermarkets get money from customers who buy the food?

Yes, but they have been taking card payments and don't know when they will be able to get their hands on that money.
